In anticipation of the upcoming Broadway revival, we're offering a free read of the groundbreaking Caroline, or Change. The Olivier Award-winning West End transfer is set to bring the story of Caroline Thibodeaux back to Broadway this fall. From the creative partnership of Tony winner Jeanine Tesori (Shrek the Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie) and Tony and Pulitzer winner Tony Kushner, Caroline, or Change is a tour de force.
In 1963, the Gellman family and their African-American maid, Caroline, live in sleepy Lake Charles, Louisiana. Caroline is drifting through life as a single mother of four working in a service job to a white family. A fragile, yet beautiful friendship develops between the young Gellman son, Noah, and Caroline. Outside of the laundry room, some of the greatest social advancements that the country has seen are being set in motion, and change is knocking on the door.
